The name Bodhi Khaya blends Buddhism with South African culture. ‘Bodhi’ means ‘awareness’ in Sanskrit and refers to the Buddha’s knowledge when he attained enlightenment 2500 years ago, while ‘Khaya’ goes beyond its better-known isiZulu meaning of ‘home’ to express a sense of belonging and a spiritual base.

We invite you to drop into stillness, deepen and energise your practice, and connect again to nature, yourself and to the world around you.

Too used to looking outwards for our well- being, we can lose touch with our internal wisdom and innate balance. In the aliveness of the present moment, we find freedom from our limited perspectives and discover that wholeness is always and already here.

The Whole Truth creates an experiential container for this- weaving together meditation, yoga, creative process and time spent in nature. Raw food and a 6 day cleansing juice fast supercharge your physical body to support release and regeneration on every level and allows a deeper, clearer connection to spirit. Through natural and holistic pathways we are able to access the presence, power and potential of simply being.

Your facilitator, Tasha Saha and a team of skilled alternative therapists are available to support you throughout. The retreat will culminate in a Vision Quest for profound healing and growth.

OVER 10 DAYS, YOU WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO:

>>Reset the body’s systems for health and find your way of eating for wellness>>Develop awareness, presence and steadiness to bring you back in touch with your basic wisdom and goodness>>Peel back the filters that limit your perspective and potential and find new insight and direction>>Nurture free expression and fearlessness for a joyful, creative life>>Connect with the deep intelligence of your own life force, the natural world, and universal consciousness.

We encourage you to extend your stay at Bodhi Khaya and experience some of the local attractions: pristine Walker Bay beaches/ shark diving in Gansbaai/ horse trails and hiking through the Fynbos.

SCHEDULE

Each day of this 10 day retreat focuses on bringing us into presence with a particular aspect of the self. Yoga sessions and herbal medicinal treatments support specific systems within our physical and energetic anatomy while creative processes, contemplation and meditation practice build awareness of emotions, mind and spirit.

The focus, or Daily Drishti, is introduced at a morning meeting where the shape of the day is laid out, and activities are explained and discussed. You will be given specific writing and contemplation exercises, and/or instructions for the making/self-administration of a herbal treatment supportive of the day’s focus, to be undertaken during your free time.

Plenty of free time has been deliberately included to also allow for relaxation, therapies and time spent in solitude, to make space for a retuning to your natural rhythms. Our busy lives are subject to many responsibilities, pressures and distractions that can keep us in a state of continual striving. The Whole Truth Retreat is your opportunity to come home to your true nature through simply being.

Three days of this retreat will be conducted in silence, to deepen your experience.

TESTIMONIALS

It was above and way beyond my expectations. By Day 2, I knew it was money well spent, by Day 5, I knew it was the best investment I have ever made in my life. If you only ever participate in one retreat in your life, this is the one.JenniferCape Town, South Africa

It exceeded all my expectations. Unbelievably beautiful and expertly facilitated. My favorite aspect of the retreat: How all the different elements came together. Masterful, gentle orchestration. I use the words“life-changing “ very sparingly, but there is no way that this experience can’t affect my journey from here.FrancoisCape Town, South Africa

The Whole Truth Retreat surpassed my expectations. Simply one of the best, finest retreats I’ve ever attended. The care and planning down to the finest detail was evident in everything. I enjoyed the diversity of the programme- the holistic quality of integrating different systems and modalities in a seamless way really worked for me. This was the most wonderful, beautiful and rewarding experience. Exceptional!ShirleyCape Town, South Africa

I came with mostly a physical cleansing in mind, but as time went on the mental and spiritual aspects came to the fore.In the space of 9 days, a lot of things have started to shift within- old tightly held beliefs I am starting to let go of. New ones move into their place. Different possibilities for the future have emerged and some old prejudices discarded.It was a beautiful experience being part of such a united and supportive group of people and I both was able to receive and give love. A memorable experience.NedCape Town, South Africa

Words cannot describe my deep gratitude to you for creating this powerful and transformative experience. This has been more than a retreat for me- like being in the school of life- connecting to self, my heart, my soul, my body, my mind, to nature and beautiful like-minded people. I have taken so much learning and discovery from this journey.

For the first time in my life, this experience allowed me the space and time to connect to myself, immerse myself in nature and true, healthy, holistic lifestyle. I feel light, clean, filled with life, love and deep gratitude.

I came here already clear about my life purpose and this week has confirmed that I am on exactly the right path. For the first time ever I truly feel confident that I have the skills and ability to do what I need to fulfill my purpose. My level of self- care has developed immensely and I will be taking all of this with me.NikkiLondon, UK

On the physical level, I feel completely cleansed and inexpressibly lighter. I’ve gone away with the firm intention to eat, drink and be merry in an entirely different way- a way which supports my health, my sense of harmony and balance and my spiritual practice.

On an emotional level, there are old holding patterns which the silence has allowed me to look at and flag for further work.

On an energetic level, I feel like I have stumbled across the secret garden, and now have a clear idea of what needs to be pruned, fed, cleared and allowed to flow. On a spiritual level I have been put in touch with countless beautiful ways to deepen my practice.MaxCape Town, South Africa

I feel like this experience has enabled me to discard my old patterns and replace them with more balanced and consciously chosen patterns that will transform my life- indeed I feel that I have already begun those patterns. A wonderful example of living/ acting one’s way into new ways of seeing and being instead of trying to think one’s way into them.

I am left with the deep knowledge that I am not the persona I am at work or in society but really am a wild creature of the Earth, engaged in a wonderful cosmic celebration. I am full of gratitude and love and feel tremendously healthy and clear- sighted.CormacCape Town
